Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Chalese! I hEAR you're coming in from the Beehive State tomorrow! I'd be happy to help answer your questions about The Most Magical Place on Earth!
If you plan on using
Disney's Magical Express Service from the Orlando International Airport, then I recommend checking your luggage with the Bell Services Team once you arrive at your Walt Disney World Resort hotel. Then, you can catch a
complimentary theme park bus to
Disney's Hollywood Studios from your resort (each bus stop has a monitor that conveniently displays bus arrival times for each Park). To pick up your Will Call tickets, simply head to any ticket window or
Guest Relations (located to the far left of the turnstiles). Be sure to bring your Photo ID with you.
Once you're scanned into the Park, you can
enter the virtual queue for
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance via the
My Disney Experience app. Open the Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge section and go to "Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance – Access by Boarding Group." Make sure that everyone in your traveling party is on your
Family & Friends list, so you can add them when you join a Boarding Group. If you need assistance while in the Park, see a member of the
Guest Experience Team.
Depending on your arrival time, there is a chance that the Boarding Groups will already be distributed for the day. You can open the My Disney Experience app (even if you're not in the Park); when you click 'Find Out More,' you might see a message that says, "We've reached capacity for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance today and are not assigning new boarding groups at this time." If this happens, I suggest visiting Disney's Hollywood Studios on another day, if your schedule allows. Otherwise, I highly recommend checking out the rest of the land. No Boarding Group is necessary to experience
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. The
Milk Stand is also the perfect place for a refreshing concoction (I'm definitely on team blue milk)! You can read all about my recent experience on the
Disney Parks Blog.
I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed that the stars align and your plans work out perfectly, Chalese! May the Force be with you!
